Advancing Supply Chain Risk Management: Emerging Challenges and Strategies
October 10, 2012
Each new day brings evidence of the challenges and risks that business and our society face.The evidence comes in many forms – natural disasters, quality failures, labor action, terrorist attacks, supplier failures, industrial accidents.The result is increasingly significant and wide reaching in scope.Businesses are therefore called to deal with these risks proactively to put in place measures that will mitigate the impacts and protect their ability to maintain their business operations.
Recognizing the importance of proactively managing risks in supply chains, the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL) Supply Chain Exchange in conjunction with the Supply Chain Risk Leadership Council (SCRLC) will host a symposium to explore the frontier of supply chain risk management entitled “Advancing Supply Chain Risk Management: Emerging Challenges and Strategies” on October 10, 2012 at the MIT Faculty Club. The agenda is set to cover a range of topics, including ways to visualize and map a supply chain, continuity and crisis management, and emerging supply chain risks. The SCRLC’s recent publication, SCRM: A Compilation of Best Practices serves as a foundation for SC Risk Management and a useful reference for this symposium. Each session is intended to encourage audience interaction and to elicit feedback from the supply chain community at large. A panel discussion will explore the topics of most interest to those in attendance.
This symposium will bring together senior executives and thought-leaders from industry along with MIT to identify the current challenges and outline the state-of-art risk management practices.
